We don't get this. The desolator currently have the same speed as in the TT. In which version of the rule did you see that the Desolator has more than 20cm speed?

EDIT: Ok after some check. There's a typo in the french version of the BFG bluebook, the desolator only get 20 cm speed. After checking the English version it appears your right!

You will have to wait for the next patch to get this fix. Mystery solved.

Well, just don't forget to throw some macro range for Mars and some defensive turrets for the Emperor.

The speed boost would be a godsend for the Desolator. Here's hoping for 188 speed so it can keep up with a couple Acherons.

Is the Desolator ever going to get its merged batteries back though? I wouldn't want to ask too much of the devs, and I heard that they were bugged at one point, but shouldn't it theoretically be possible to implement them considering that the Slaughter has weapons that function similarly and are evidently bug free?

They are not completely bug free, the game is incapable of treating both parts of merged battery as separate weapons and both have the same damage/rate of fire, which is not a good thing.
